Some Able Speeches at the Boston
Conventions,

Convention.
Boston, October 2I.-The Conven-
ton of the American Shipping and
Inustrial League met here to-day.
Ten States were represented by thirty
two organizations and one hundred
and fifty delegates. Hon. V. r. Spot
ford was chosen President and made
an address, in which he described the
decline of American shipping and the
various measures proposed for its re-
suscitation.
DANGER FHoM OvERPRoDUCTION,
Senator Frye, of Maine, believed.
he said, that he had been doing all he
could to lift up from death the Ameri-
can merchant marine, but ship owners
were lying on their oars and doing
nothing. Organized work was power
in this country and there was nothing
to which Congress was more sensitive
than the voice of the voting popula-
ton, 1t was time the American peo-
pie woke to the fact that unless Il
market was found for American manu-
factures outside of the country there
would be an overproduction. If W.
had all the ships we needed we coul !
OF sail them cheaply enough to com
pete with England.
THE WAY TO COMPETE
successfully, was to have Congress
put its hand into that big surplus an
nav for sailing merchant ships under
the American flag. 1t was great
task to get such measure adopted
but organized effort would accomplish
it.
A committee on the resolution was
appointed.
OUR COMMERCIAL POSITION.
Hon. Mason Dingley, of Maine, be-
lieved that such meetings as these
were moulding public sentiment t.
the pitch OF compelling Congress t,
act rightly in the matter. 1t was not
the shipping industry alone that wat
at stake. 1t was our naval import
ance in the event of danger from out
side. AS We are, we are next to
powerless. Division of sentiment a.
to the remedies grew out OF lack oi
knowledge to the exigencies OF the
case. Our coastwise and interior
marine had prospects; it was tonnage
in the foreign trade that had been
wiped out. That stood as the, basis
except in one particular. Coastwise
trade was amply protected, while
foreign trade was open to all.
After remarks by Hon. D. b. Potter
of New York, and others, in the same
general strain, the meeting adjourned
| till tomorrow.

On the question of the admission OF

deep interest is taken in the ques,

whether it should be admitted as one

of their associates has been invested in
security wholly unlikely to suffer from
deterioration in values, while at the same
time it provides them with an exceed
ingly comfortable place from which to
issue general orders to American work
ingmen.
1t is not at all strange, however, that
the luxury which, by all accounts, per-
vades the new palace of labor in Pnila-
delphia has bred in some of the hard
working men 'GhO have contributed to
its purchase feeling of OuGspoken dis
satisfaction. It is all very well to have
"thick, soft Brussels" frescoes and cost
IL chandeliers, and it is doubtless agree
able to the managing men that their room
for meeting should be 'Iighted through
q dome Of stained glass" But those
who find the assessments of the organize
ton burden will naturally inquire what
good sill this OBSERVATIONS splendOr is
going to do them. Some Of the knights
who nave been 10 see the PniIadelphia
mansion have been, it is true, more i'm
pressed by the msGnItiCenCe into which
they were ushered than disturbed by the
thought that they sre helping pay tor it.
They have told their comrades that the
general office is "simply immense" and
that they "waGed up u their knees in
velvet CarpetS.h But their pleasure in
performing this feat was not, We are told,
shared by all their friends at home, who
gave vent TO their feelings in ga howl of
dissatisfaction" One Is thus quoted:
Only short time ago the general exec
utiye board sent out a pitiful plea TO slI
the members of the order begginL for as
sistanCe TO support the lCcked-Out and
striking members OF the order III various
parts OF the couUtry, aud requiring a spe-
Cjal assessment Of % cents per member.
Just now they h9ve bought that prinCeIy
palace on North Broad street. The mem
bers of the Organiz2tiO at large are not
benefited by it in any way. The general
officers aud their clerks alOne eniOy the
luxury, while the Wretched and unfor-
tuuate members are left TO suffer priv a.
ton for 1t. Our order, you know, is
composed mostly of poor people, and II
seems absurd that our headquarters
should be more magnificent than those
OF the WealthieSt corporations in the
land. In my opinion it is g great mis-
take, and think the public outside will
come to entertain the same view of it.
The heads of the Knights of Labor can
make the very obvious retOrl that it is no
concern of the outside public how the
money Of the organization is spent.
That is plainly the affair Of the members
themselves, and, for our own part, we
have nothing 10 say about the propriety
of keeping up luxurious headquarters for
Mr.. POwderIY and his executive board.
Bat the fact itself, and the way n which
it may be regarded by the Heights of La
Dor, is certainly matter Of interest.

A TAME AFFAIR.
The Funeral of Mrs. Neebe, Wife OF the
Anarchist, Failure, as Far as
Sensation Goes.
Extraordinary Precautions Taken, but
There Is no Disorder to Quell-Prom-
1nent Persons Absent.

CHICAGO, ILL, March I3.-Extreme
quiet marked the burial OF Mrs. Neebe
to-day. Fully 10000 people shivered
three hours in the bleak wind, waiting
for the obsequies OF the noted anarchists
wife to commence, AID were rewarded
by the sight OF procession
that, except in size, differed
only in few minor details
from any ordinary funeral. Last evening
the master of ceremonies estimated that
20, 900 sympathiZtTs would be in line.
Whether the absence Of the anarchist
widOwer dampened the enthusiasm, or
the fact that the police were taking ex-
traordinary precautions 10 queu disorder
had like effect, the demonstration fell far
short Of its promoters predictions.
Including persons in III carriages and
bUggies, there were probably 5000
souls in the COrtege. The funeral cere-
monies were held in Miller's hall, which
less than twelve hours before had been
the scene Of a masquerade ball. Every
vestiGe # carnival Tappings had, how
ever, been carefully removed. Here and
there were nlaCards, printed appe ais for
contributions to the anaTChistdefeGse fund
The stage and gallery railing were taste
! fully draped in black and white, and
ranged before the fOotlignts ard around
the coffin were fDral embiemS and pOtted
plants in prOfusi0n. Nothing symbOlical
OF religion was visible, nor in the simple
services were there even he most distant
illusions 10 future life.
II we'll rendered chorus or two followed
by brief Orations from George Schilling
and Paul GrOttkan, and the corpse was
ready for the hearse. Schiliing, the
Chicago socialist, and GrOttkan, the
Milwaukee anarchist, failed to break
forth in their usual fiery strain Captain
| Black missed train and was not present.
Mrs. Parsons was also absent, and DR..
| Schmidt, one time sOCisilstiC can
didate for mayor, sent letter
as a sales.--future for the address
he was to deliver. In consequence the
ceremonies ct the cemetery consisted
mainly OF another speech by GrOukan.

The HaymaTke' meeting could be seen to-
day either ia the procession or the multi
/ tuies that VieWed it. The prohi5iji, z

Few banners were carried and they were
furled and totally hidden in black drap-
ing. Not dozen mOurGers were in uni

BOSTON Post,

Descriptions of the, new headquarters
of the Knights of Labor give the reader
an impression of splendor that seems
oddly out of place for the chiefs of or
gained labor. The building which has
been purchased for Mr.. POwderly and
his assistants is a fine old mansion in
Philadelphia This was certainly got st
a bargain, for the owner let the carpets,
furniture and fixtures go with the house
for $50, 900, after refusing, it is said,
$40, 900 for the property. This was q
more practical form of sympathy with
the aims and principles of the Knight of
Labor than organizations of any sort
usually get, and perhaps it was
shreWd thing to close with so generous
an offer. Mr.. Powderly and his execu-
tive board can at least say that the money

Mr.. Willis Perrynan, whose portrait

ing in Winona, Tex, who for some three
years past has been under the treatment
ofDr. J. S Curtis, the distinguish spe-
cialist. OF the results OF that treatment,
Mr.. Perryman's own statements as they
fell from his lips IN the presence Of a re
porter for the Tyler "Tri-WeekIy Tri-
bune," are a sufficient commentary. He
says: I en- farmer, twenty five years old.
I was born and now live in Winona, Smith
county, Tex. was afflicted with granu-
lated sore eyes over three years TO such
an extent that I was forced TO spend al I
could earn for treatment. I employed
three different doctors, but found no re-
lief My eyes got so bad that I was like
q blind man, and was obliged to quit
work entirely. I suffered so much that
became nearly crazy and thought might
better be dead. In this condition 1 lost
all hope. 1 heard of DR.. Curtis adver-
easements anG heard the accounts of his
wonderful cures read to me, and resolved
to consult him. In this was opposed
by my brother, who said he did
not believe in pstronizing advertis-
ing quacks. He urged me to
continue the treatment Of the family ply
stefan, whom he considered reliable. I
went to Dallas, however, on the 18th OF
January and consulted. Dr.. Curtis. He
would cure me, put that it would take
time, land that must follow his directions
implicitly. I remained in Dallas under
his personal treatment six days. The
Improvement in my eyes was wonderful
from the very first application of his
remedies. At the end of the six days l
went home with my eyes in better condi-
ton than at any time for three years. I
went to work at once, feeling g new
hope and believing that the future had
something besides darkness for me. Now,
eft the end of six I find my eyes
as bright as ever. I can see as well as I
ever could. work all the time and feel
like msde-oyer man. Ny brother, who
opposed rny consultations of DR.. Curtis,
is satisfied, and thinks with me that
every one ought to be grateful to DR..
Curtis because he does advertise and
make his wonderful skill known. While
WAS in Dallas under his treatment l
found his rooms crowded with patients.

All reports to the contrary, 1t seems
